Mediation between the state and the union that represents New York correction officers entered Day 3 on Wednesday.
The conversation comes as correction officers around the state continue to protest for better working conditions at their prisons.
More than 20 people were counted on the picket line at a protest outside of Sing Sing prison in Ossining on Wednesday.
"Staffing issues and the mandatory overtime that these guys are being mandated to work---those are main priorities," said retired correction officer Israel Sanchez.
Sanchez said the group at Sing Sing has been fighting for these demands for seven days now.
